Describe your race day.

Beautiful beginning watching the sunrise at Timberline. I loved the descent looking over the valley and into the forests. It so pretty and the weather was incredible.
Did you PR?

No. I should have trained more on coming down hills.
How would you describe the course?

Timberline steep slope in the beginning but it was nice to look over the valley. I loved running through the forests where the trees lined the street on both sides. Past through the little towns (wished there was more fans out). And finished at the fish farm.
Tell us about your training.

Long distances on semi rolling hills. Descended down a few large hills (should have done more). Ran up to 18 miles training averaged 25-30 miles a week .
What advice would you give future runners?

Stay in Gresham, Clackasmas, Happy Valley for hotels. Training on a steep descent hill. Do some rolling hills for long days. Don't worry about sweat pants. Double up on socks during the race. I had no blisters or bruised toes.
What fun things did you do in the area before or after the race?

I live locally so I did not travel.
